Abstract

To evaluate paternity in a case where both rape and conjugal coitus had occurred close to the time of conception, fetoscopy with fetal blood sampling was performed at 20 weeks gestation. Detailed blood group typing of the wife, husband, and fetus, and the presence of a very long Y chromosome in the last two, indicated a 99.9% chance that the fetus was fathered by the husband and only a 0.1% chance that it was fathered by "some other male Caucasian." The couple elected to continue the pregnancy. Neonatal testing verified the prenatal findings.
